I don't think this ad-hoc hack "deserves" its own tarball type. 
Imagine WSL 3 requires /bin/ed besides /bin/sh and /bin/mount, then
you'd need to add a wsl3-tarball-type, and so on and so forth.

I think the correct way of implementing this would be to make image
respect --symlink the way guix pack does.  WDYT?
